It's an uninteresting story because neither one of us remembers when we actually first met, but it was through mutual friends during junior year of high school. Senior year we ended up having English class together. After class we'd walk together to meet up with the rest of our friends to go out to lunch together so I guess that's where it all began!

My friends were in on it and insisted that I go out to lunch with them, even though I had to make up school work since I was sick the day before. And we HAD to take my car. I knew they were acting strange, but wouldnt find out why until we were driving back to school after lunch and police sirens go off behind me. Terrified, I pulled over, fumbling for my license and registration, only to be told my "emissions tests was due" and was given a ticket that read "Will you go to prom with Aaron?"

Aaron invited me to a "business trip" in Miami. He sent me the itinerary full of flight information, hotel details, and factory tours, promising me "we'll be able to go to the beach, you'll have fun." So I agreed. As the weekend approached, our flights were "mixed up" and instead of flying in with the "group" on Friday, Aaron and I were flying in late Thursday night.. which ended up being delayed, getting into our "last minute" motel in Fort Lauderdale at 3am.. bad start, but it worked out in Aaron's favor because we left at the crack of dawn to take a day trip to the Keys for some fun and to watch the famous sunset before meeting up with the rest of the group. We spent the whole day walking around Duval Street in Key West. Earlier in the planning process, a "coworker" recommended we watch the sunset from Fort Zachary Taylor Beach in Key West so we wrapped up our day, sweaty and tired, to head to the beach. There, at sunset, he got down on one knee, and asked me to marry him. He let me in on the secret, and that we actually had 5 days down in Key West in a little Airbnb. It was the perfect surprise.
